Traditional Czech clothing

Because it is the exclusive etiquette of Czech unmarried men to have feathers on their hats, they naturally do not need to wear feathers after marriage.

This thing is actually a bit speechless to understand, but it is related to local customs, and it is impossible to judge it with normal eyes. It is estimated that Czechs don't like being asked if they are single, so they will express their single status directly in this way.

Most Czechs are very self-disciplined, especially in dressing. Czech men are used to wearing suits or long coats, while women prefer black or crimson skirts. Therefore, in normal dress etiquette, their dress will always follow the rules. It is also based on the serious attitude of Czechs, so the hat will be carefully marked whether the man is married or not.

Most Czechs believe in Catholicism, so they usually avoid the number 13 and Friday. Moreover, Czechs attach great importance to privacy and don't like to be asked about it. This situation prompted the emergence of a problem. After all, being single or not is also a very private matter. However, Czechs use feathers to indicate whether they are married or not, which seems to be completely in line with their code of conduct.

The reason why feathers are used is probably because many countries have applied feathers to headdresses. Not only is it light enough, but you don't have to worry about the negative pressure in your head. The key is that the feather belt is also very beautiful and eye-catching.

In addition to the Czech single men wearing feathers on their heads, people in many places actually have this custom, but the meaning is different.
